"They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. *That's* the *Chicago* way! And that's how you get Capone." (Untouchables)
Exacto.
And that’s exactly the mindset we need to have here. Chicago. Alinsky.
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”
They have their own set of rules people and we need to understand and embrace them...and then outdo them.
This is war. I don’t give a flip whether mealy-mouthed, squishy “let’s be careful of our tone” moderates think. This is war and we need to treat it thusly.
Like Patton said:
Nobody ever defended anything successfully; there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
